industrial waste disposal : Andra, National Radioactive Waste Management Agency

The agency also has a policy of training through research, which is aimed at heightening student awareness to the problems of interfacing between the various fields concerned by its scientific programme, this new section covers scientific events congresses, symposia, seminars, areas covered by Andra’s doctorate thesis students, thesis topics and research work under way at Andra. Its ambition is to provide the scientific community with more and better information about the agency’s research objectives and results, andra is recruiting doctoral Ph. industrial waste disposal Andra, National Radioactive Waste Management Agency D students interested in preparing a thesis for a three-year term, incumbents will be seconded to a university research laboratory or a post-graduate institution as part of Andra’s efforts to support upstream research in studies associated with radioactive-waste managament. Andra is mostly interested in the following topics, couplings and interactions.

Clays and waste-repository materials, chemistry/transfer couplings, mechanics, geochemistry, fissure plugging, transfer mechanisms. Phenomenon modelling, retention process in engineered and geological barriers, gas migration, inverse modelling of reactive transports, geodynamics.
Evolution of the Paris Basin, long-term seismic risk, erosion quantification and datation, digital analyses, multi-phenomenon simulation, scale changes, estimates/forecasts, error calculations. Preference is given to the following scientific disciplines, earth scicnces, element chemistry, materials science, environmental science biosphere and digital modelling. Research topics relating to job applications are updated on a yearly basis, 'The French National Agency for Radioactive Waste Management or Andra is a public industrial and commercial organisation created by the Act of 30 December 1991. The french National Radiactive Waste Management Agency is responsible for the long-term management of all radioactive watse in France and for the conduct of investigations on its disposal in deep geological formation. Andra Head Office Andra operates independently of waste producers, it comes under the supervision of the French Ministries for Industry, Research and the Environment, and is responsible for the long-term management of radioactive waste produced in France.
